ART + MATHS = AMAZING

by CATHY BROWN

Hello EVERYONE,
I've always loved the work of Paul Klee, incorporating signs, letters, numbers and colour. He has a sense of humour and his often childlike imagery makes a real connection. Using Mathematics in artwork is a great way to integrate everything. Hope you love the activity.

Easter is just around the corner so check out the Virtual Teacher Easter page. You will love the Krototak Easter card.
To support VT it costs just $10.00 per year. Thanks in advance it helps a lot and covers the cost of hosting and distribution of the newsletter. AND I will send you the FREE Link to the 4BIG IDEAS ebook. Take a look at some of the pages here.

"A line is a dot going for a walk."
"Art does not reproduce what we see it makes us see."
Color and I are one. I am a painter.
One eye sees, the other feels.”
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it!

ART + MATHS = AMAZING

KROKOTAK
KROKOTAK is a fabulous art/craft site.
﷯I loved the 2D to 3D cats.
The pictures of the cat are here:
The pdf template for the cat is here
Also the rainy day is very clever and
has an accompanying video.
There are lots of great ideas throughout the site.
Paul Klee is one of my favourite artists. His whimsical, dreamy, childlike images are a delight. I love the way he combines maths and art, shapes, and numbers, symbols and letters. I did this activity and the students were bringing in artwork for several days to add to our display.
INTRODUCTION I made a powerpoint(download it here) intro including some background on PAUL KLEE and an outline of the activity. You use a grid if you like to download template here.
CHECK OUT “Once Emerged in the Gray of the Night” BY PAUL KLEE and discuss.

EASTER CARD

Check out the Virtual teacher website Easter page. There are some fantastic Easter sites. The printouts are great, and the marshmallow bunny is a very enjoyable edible activity. And since we are talking about chickens, here's a rather interesting article on "Why did the Chicken cross the road?" "Why did the Chicken cross the road?". Yes! that old chestnut. It, once again, shows teachers know what they're talking about.


I do answer all emails so send them along with your questions ideas and great sites.

Hi Cathy,
I can’t thank you enough for the work you do to help people with disabilities and to build much-needed community and support. The resources I found here: (http://www.virtualteacher.com.au/g&t.html) are fantastic. As a librarian, I’ve staked my career in helping empower people with stories and knowledge, and I’m grateful to find others who share that vision.

I’m putting together a list of special needs resources for an upcoming library newsletter, and thought they might be of interest to you:

Hello Cathy,

On http://www.virtualteacher.com.au/art.html I noticed you are linking to a post about some of the best cities to visit for their architectural features. I'd like to get your opinion on an article I recently wrote which is my compilation of the most beautiful cities for architecture.

I was wondering if you would also like to link out to my article on your page I mentioned. If you are interested in that or perhaps you would like to republish my work please go ahead and let me know. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you,
John.
